Call for Submissions:

The Wig: Journal of Experimental Scholarship accepts submissions on an ongoing basis. Specifically, we look for scholarship on art and philosophy that takes experimental form or explores non-traditional knowledges and ways of understanding. We want to see pieces that somehow reconfigure how thought is communicated, or who push beyond the systematic and formulaic. Multi-media presentations are especially welcome.


Possibilities include (but are not limited to):

Please note that we are not an academic journal, per se. Do not send us the kinds of articles you would submit to traditional academic journals or the sorts of papers written in graduate seminars. Rigorous thought need not always follow the same format. We’re also not a lit journal. So while we’re open to exploring the limits of truth, we don’t want your fiction, and we’re not looking for the next Baudelaire or Angelou.

Also, we prefer not to publish material that has been previously published online (such as on personal websites or in another online journal) unless it has undergone extensive revision. If your submission has been previously published (either online or in print), please indicate so in the cover letter and why you seek republication (i.e. it has been revised, is no longer widely available, etc.).

If you think you’ve got what we’re looking for, send submissions and queries to TheWigEditors@gmail.com. Acceptable attachments include .doc or .tiff files. Please query before sending other types of files (e.g. video or audio files).
